I am following Socks the cat, and he has so much neat stuff to twitter about than I have. Between Socks and Clair McCaskill, I just cannot keep up.I am just going to have to sign up for a blog/twitter course to bust out of this blockAnd a couple of these might help too.

I GOT THE LETTER LAST WEEK, MARKED "IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR CARD ENDING IN #XXXX.

MY CURRENT 7.62% WILL RAISE IN APRIL TO 15.99%. THE LADY I CALLED SAID CREDIT CARD COMPANIES ARE GOING THROUGH SOME HARD TIMES NOW. duH!

I HAVE HAD THE CARD ABOUT 6 YEARS, MOST OF THE TIME DO NOT CARRY A BALANCE, WHEN I DO I PAY MORE THAN THE MIN. PYMT, AND PAY IT ON TIME. I KNOW IT IS LEGAL TO RATE JACK, BUT IT SEEMS IMMORAL. THEY HAVE LATE FEES, OVER LIMIT FEES, AND WILL RAISE YOUR INTEREST IF YOU ARE LATE ON PYMTS. BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT JUST TO BE ABLE TO SET A DATE AND RAISE A BUNCH OF RATES. I CAN DEAL WITH THE PLAY BY THE RULES OR WE WILL SCREW YOU WITH HIGH RATES AND FEES, BECAUSE YOU CAN CONTROL THEM.ANYHOW, I DO HAVE THE OPTION OF CLOSING MY ACCOUNT, AND ANY BALANCE ON IT CAN BE PAID OUT AT MY CURRENT LOW RATE. MY INNER DEVIL IS TELLING ME TO BUY A FEW THINGS BEFORE APRIL AND RIDE THEM OUT ON LOW INTEREST. HMMMM......!!

The Ca woman who had 4 single births and a set of twins from invetro, before having the Octuplets, says they are a sign that she should stop having babies now. She evidently has not been watching the signs sent to her with her current 6, that she is already putting a drag on her family and the tax payers. She said she was not on Welfare, today I heard she got $500.00 per month of Food stamps. She does not think the food program is welfare. I worked at the welare office for 18 years and part of my job was certifying Food Stamp recipients. In my state and most states these babies would be getting their health care through medicaid....or medi-cal in CA. The welfare office does the eligibility for that program also. Also at least 2 that I have heard so far of these 6 children are on disability, probably called SSI or something similiar. It is a state program for people who have not worked and become disabled and have no social security earnings. This does not come from the welfare office, but whatever agency dispenses it, it is funded by the taxpayers. The max amount per person is around $600 or so.She says that she is going to go to school on grants and support these kids when she finishes. That is going to be a feat in itself with 14 kids....there is probably a child care program that she is eligible for.....yep you sign up for that at the WELFARE office too.Damn, it is beginning to sound like this woman is on welfare, and our tax money is supporting these 6 already......now we can get ready for 8 more. 8 more medi=cal cards, double the 500 dollars in Food Stamps. And pray that none of the new 8 are disabled.I know she got some lawsuit money, so I am hoping it paid the invetro procedures.This is the craziest woman I have come across in a long time.I am a bleeding heart liberal that thinks all of these welfare programs have a place, and are there to help people. But this case has me so angry and stirred up, that I have thought about getting a consultation with Ann Coulter, to see if she can change me.

If we opened our minds to enjoyment, we might find tranquil pleasures spread about us on every side. We might live with the angels that visit us on every sunbeam, and sit with the fairies who wait on every flower. ~Samuel Smiles

This is the time of the year that we need to feel fairies near....it is cold, the winter is long, and it gets very boring. I can only spend so much time cleaning and reading books, then the cabin fever begins to dig in....
